He'll do as his dad tells him.

Soooooo Hull FC rumours? Stacey Jones to come out of retirement and replace the departing Seymour?

Mckinnon not playing weekend and going home rumour has it (for the 3rd week running) were after kearney to replace him for rest of season

surely he'd wait until the following weekend when we have no game, or even wait until the london game, the team coach may as well drop him off at heathrow on the way to kent!

I thought him playing last week put this rumour to bed. Obviously not.

I hope it is all rumours and nothing else , I think hes been one of our better players this season (wigan game apart)

thats why its in here

I guess it could be inferred that Mckinnon had been persuaded to stay 'til the end of the year but after the Wigan game he was told something along the lines of "if you're going to play like that you can sod off now".

OR

people are talking shiite

Where have you heard Galloway Paul?

Gentle wants 'Best of British'. www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... story.html First time out interest in Crookes is in the media? Still think we will bring an overseas prop.

If he beleives arundel, crookes and johnson are "class" then he has a different definition to me. Which Decent British players are OOC this year?

I agree and I know I should have faith in them building a team but recruitment is starting to worry me a little if these are the type of players were looking to bring in.

Quite glad in all honesty, the overseas market is dead.

I would say that in key positions of half and full back their isn't that much uk talent at all.

the bulls will have either nas manuafokosa (or whatever it is) or sammut available after this year. both have been good and play in positions you want to strengthen.

I heard that you were looking at finch around 6 weeks ago when it looked unlikely wigan would resign him. His form has picked so wigan may try hang on, but Ive heard you will be able to offer more. Would be a cracking signing for you boys

I'd have Manuafokosa, would go no were near Sammut though.

Ellis for Manu
Crookes for Martin
Arundal for Turner would be Ok.

Not sure about Johnson for O Meley though.

Another Halfback in the key IMO, and the fact that we are intrested in Finch shows the club agree with me.

Will have to get an oversea half, no real other choice.

would you take eastmond who is rumoured to be coming back next year?

Is the Half so Horne can go to 1?

To Lose Seymour, McKinnon, Turner, Briscoe and Ellis out of our back line would take big recruitment and i'm not sure theres enough british talent to go round unless we pay massive transfer fees.

1. Horne/Lyne
2. Sharp/Lineham
3. Arundel/Crooks
4. Yeaman
5. Crookes
6. ?
7. ?

Was discussed the other day, he can't get fit.

Yes

Hopefully our backline will be something like this

Horne
Sharp
Arundal
Yeaman
Briscoe
New Halfback
Seymour

It does have a better look, hopefully Briscoe will hang around for another year.

Is this confirmed?

Nope, but then is anything on here.

SL player OOC, a couple slightly out of date.
